Interesting ! That is what I am looking for (this file was also pointed out
by the command suggested by mj: "strace -e trace=open lpr <file>"). But this
option is already in the printcap file (produced by magicfilter) :

  :sd=/var/spool/lpd/printer:rm=printer.host.fr:rp=printer:lpr_bounce:\
  :sh:pw#80:pl#72:px#1440:mx#0:\
  :if=/etc/magicfilter/ps600-filter:\
  :af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:

Is it a but of lpr ? Should I do a bug report ?

Thanks for your help !
